Abstract
We study the capacity of ad hoc wireless networks with mobile nodes. The mobility model examined is one where the nodes are restricted to move along one-dimensional paths. We examine the scaling laws for the per-user throughput achievable over long time-scales, making this suitable for applications with loose delay constraints. We show that under this regime of restricted mobility, we attain a constant throughput (i.e., (1)) per user, which is signican tly higher than the throughput of xed networks, which decays as O( 1 pn) with the number of nodes n, as shown in (4).Keywords
